I like 9/11 conspiracies as much as the next person, but this one is lame; it's about two totally different kinds of structures: traditional Spanish I-beam & concrete throughout all levels and sections, vs. WTC tubes, with massive beams around the outside and light-weight cross-beam interior flooring.

Making this comparison weakens the arguments about a conspiracy, making conspiracists seem dumb. Instead, stick to the better theories.

The point here is that this Spanish building burned throughout, for many hours. Every structural member was under thermal stress. . .yet it stood. On 9/11, the buildings were on fire from the point of impact - UP. The lower 80 floors were not on fire, and not structurally weakened by the thermal stress of fire - yet the strength of those floors evaporated all at once when the top floor started moving down.

Lol

I guess the core of wtc 1/2 was just made from Lego parts?

The related conspiracy is that the side beams should not have collapsed so well, indicating that there must have been additional explosions

Legos wouldn't have collapsed like that...
